Our Adoption Process...

Adopt a FriendWe DO NOT ship our animals. You must fill out an adoption application and you will be contacted upon approval.This normally takes 24-48 hours to complete. Interested adopters must visit with a lead caregiver for a meet and greet. All of our precious pets are spayed or neutered before adoption. Both dogs and cats are up to date with annual vaccinations,dewormed dogs are heartworm tested, cats are tested for FIV and feline leukemia and are treated for ear mites. All dogs are temperament tested by a trained tester. We are on the Science Diet plan so it is what we feed our cats and dogs. Each and every one of our companion animals are provided with an examination by a Veterinarian. We also microchip all of our pets upon adoption. Don't forget you are also able to receive a complimentary visit by your own Veterinarian too.
